Going Down Slow

I done had my fun if I never get well no more

Had my fun if I never get well no more

You know my health is fadin' me now and I'm goin' down slow

Please write my mother and go and tell her this for me

Want you to write my mother and go and tell her this for me

Tell her forgive me for my sins they were never meant to be

Mother please don't worry this is all just in my song

Tell my mother please don't worry this is all in my song

Tell her her son was a wicked boy you know he is just silly travelling on

On the next train south look for my cold bone

On the next train next train south look for my cold bone

If you don't find my body all you can do is moan

Don't send no doctor doctor can't do me no good

Don't send no doctor doctor can't do me no good

It is all my fault you know that I didn't do the things that I should

Mother please don't worry do this for me

Tell my mother please won't you please do this for me

Forgive me for my sins you know they were never meant to be
